Description

When they meet as girls on a beach in Nantucket, Maggie McIntyre and Emily Porter become fast friends- though Emily's well-heeled mother would prefer that she associate with the upscale daughters of bankers and statesmen rather than the child of a local seamstress. But the two lively girls nevertheless spend many golden summers together building castles in the sand, creating magical worlds of their own, and forging grand plans for their future. Struggling with the tough choices they must make and the secrets they must keep, the two women discover that the road to love and fulfillment is full of bumps and twists. And while true love may be rare, Maggie and Emily find that friendship is even rarer  - and more valuable still.
